My Rune for
March is Ehwaz (horse), which is a rune of fast movement and rapid progress. It encourages us
to have confidence, to broaden our horizons and to be open to new elements in our
life. The tarot card for this month is the Daughter
of Pentacles from the Wild Unknown Tarot. This is a more gentle and cautious
energy than Ehwaz. Imagine a horse running wild, mane waving in the wind,
trampling the soil beneath his feet, foaming at the mouth from
excitement: such a difference from the gentle fawn in the Daughter of Pentacles.
I feel like
the Daughter of Pentacles will help me to rein the sometimes unbridled energy
of Ehwaz. We all know that feeling when the winds are changing, the earth is quickening
and Spring is just around the corner. We seem to be able to tap into an unlimited
source of energy but, yes there is always a but, for me this is a very familiar
pitfall: Spending too much energy at once which will leave me depleted
afterwards.
I am looking
forward to the abundant energy of Ehwaz this month but I am also grateful for the prudence and sensibility of The Daughter of Pentacles. She will encourage me to slow
down when needed and she also will show me how to seek out the most delicious herb
and grasses between the weeds. That ways I can preserve my energy and also enjoy
life to the fullest.
